Context and Ambiguity
Bao Pei-pe · 2002
Ambiguity is an unavoidable phenomenon in the process of applying a language. To understand it accurately depends on the context. Because context has two different functions: it can both eliminate and produce ambiguity. This paper mainly illustrates and probes into the fact that context produces ambiguity from six aspects. And it comes to a conclusion that context knowledge can not only eliminate ambiguity but also bring unexpected rhetoric effect.
